CRNP

Hello,

I am currently an inpatient NP practicing with the intestinal rehab group at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. I have been working with this population throughout my entire nursing career in different capacities starting as a nursing intern and now inpatient provider. I have been at UPMC CHP for 21 years and can't imagine working anywhere else. I enjoy working with this chronic population as things are ever changing and evolving within the field. It keeps me on my toes for sure which makes every day interesting.
